Verdict

O'CALDINO (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Toowoomba over 1 ¼m over the weekend. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Quick back-up and looks hard to beat if lining up again. BORN TO BE ALIVE (5) is fitter for two runs back and ran a much improved race last start at Coffs Harbour on heavy going when runner-up. Looks ready to win. WHATJEUDOIN' (2) is fitter for two runs from a let-up, the latest over 1 ³/16m at Ipswich, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. WAVERLEY (1) has been thereabouts without winning but comes back a notch for this on recent runs. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TRUSTY BANDIT (8) was a close-up second last time in a better run and is worth including with a repeat of the latest.
